- Charlotte, N.C., Digitizes Commercial Planning Process
- By Noelle Knell. Government Technology, October 16, 2012. "... The new electronic process has all of Charlotte's plan reviewers working collaboratively, making comments on the PDF file, circulated via email. The engineering division does a final review before plans are returned to the customer, to ensure that input is coordinated and not in conflict. Weekly and Smith noted several improvements resulting from the new system. There are environmental benefits, achieved by not having to print multiple copies of different versions of thick site development plans. Countless trips to the government center are also eliminated. Plans can be submitted via email around the clock, adding another layer of convenience for applicants. The new process is also much quicker, saving time due to a more coordinated city response..."

- Some thoughts on Planning Reform – when to consult?
- by Matthew Crozier. Bang the Table, November 28, 2011. "I’ve just been reading an article in the Sydney Morning Herald about the state of Planning in NSW. The article quotes a submission to the Independent Review Panel on planning by the Planning Institute of Australia which laments the culture of fear in the industry which, they seem to suggest, is killing creativity and innovation among planners. It’s an interesting read but what really grabbed my attention was this: Many of the few hundred submission received, focused on the need for community consultation at the strategic planning level rather than on an ad hoc basis. It worries me a bit..."

- Report on responses to e-conveyancing secondary legislation part 3 - in pdf format (273kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). Land Registry, June 2011. "... This consultation has told us that many of our customers and stakeholders are unconvinced that the time is right to offer e-transfers. They would want to see e-charges and e-signatures sorted out first and they have not yet been persuaded that e-transfers are desirable or achievable in a time of low property sales and increased risk of fraud. As a result we’re planning to put the development of e-transfers on hold and concentrate instead on fully automating our delivery systems, so customers can send us electronically documents that have been prepared in the traditional way..."

- Planning 2.0 about open government
- by Matthew Bieniek Cumberland Times-News. May 29, 2011. "Cumberland - Participating in the Allegany County planning process is now as simple as a few mouse clicks and keystrokes. The website, called Planning 2.0, uses an interface similar to Google Maps. 'We have designed the interface to be relatively simple and straightforward', said Elizabeth Stahlman, GIS manager for Allegany County who developed the site. The site is free. The 2.0 comes from a term coined some time ago to express open government, Government 2.0, so Stahlman thought that would be a good take for an open planning process. While you can quickly find your own property and the current and future land uses, citizens can comment on any property and planned land uses..."
